December isn’t a great time for golf – in New England. But it is in Panama City, Florida, where the average annual temperature is 74 and the sun shines an average 320 days a year. Recognized by Golf Digest as one of America’s top golf towns, Panama City has introduced some fall-golf packages, valid through the end of this year.

Bay Point Golf Resort & Spa is offering room, 18 holes of golf at The Meadows Course and a $25 gift card for food or merchandise at Club 19 or the resort’s pro shop. For an additional $20, guests can play the only Nicklaus-designed course in northwest Florida. Rates begin at $139 a night, and for more information call 800-874-4025 or visit http://www.baypointgolf.com/baypointcc.asp?id=16&page=438

free rental of clubs, cart and range balls. For information, call 800-874-8686 or visit http://www.edgewaterbeachresort.com/
